RK Launcher is a free application that will allow the user to have a visually pleasing bar at the side of the screen that is used to quickly launch shortcuts. With support for themes, PNG's and ICO's and with smooth amazing animations, RK Launcher is a versatile and great taskbar replacement.
Feature List:
Zooming
When the mouse is moved over the dock, all the icons will automatically grow: this is called zooming. The advantage of zooming is that the user will be able to have a very small strip of shortcuts that virtually take no precious screenspace. Only when interaction with RK Launcher is required, the shortcutbar will automatically zoom in to allow the user to pick the icon he wants.
Taskbar
Minimized windows will normally be shown on the Windows Taskbar. RK Launcher provides an eye-pleasing replacement for the taskbar: whenever a window is minimized, it will automatically be placed on the shortcutsbar and will be represented by a small image of the contents of this window. This way, the user will quickly see which windows are minimized.
New Applications
It's always hard to track newly installed applications: where did they go? To solve this problem, RK Launcher will automatically place a shortcut on the launcher when an application is started for the first time.
Customization
All parts of RK Launcher can be fully customized. From the number of icons that gets zoomed on mouseover to the background and icons; the user can set it all as he likes. With support for themes, users can exchange their favourite looks and change the look of the launcher with one click.

^^ There must be an option to add it in startup in dock settings. Otherwise you can add its shortcut into "Startup" folder.

I was looking for something better than RK launcher for the past year ... found it finally. ... Rocket docket is much better than this. Unfortunately RK launcher is not _there_ (quote-unquote) yet ...

Of course, RK is 3 1/2 years old and in beta, with no updates

I have had Rk launcher on my computer for almost a year now and the other day it all of a sudden stopped appearing, I checked task manager and it is running, I reinstalled it and everything but it doesnt appear on my desktop! please help I LOVE this program!!

^^ It might happen that the items added to the dock got deleted and thats why its showing nothing. Try to drag-n-drop a shortcut to the area where RKLauncher used to appear and may be it gets added.
